After spending £300 I didn't want to spend on my little Sei sporting last month it has been running like a dream!
BUT...
Now the brakes completely failed whilst driving on the M25, lucky the road wasn't busy and I managed to use the Handbrake to come to a halt!
Fiat have told me that it is a £500 job as the brake pipes have corroded and a few other bits too, I kinda lost focus after he told me the price so can't remember what exactly is wrong! oh, he said the handbrake is seized too. Seems very expensive to me, especially as the car is only worth about double that!
Does that seem expensive to anyone else? Fiat claim it will take 4.5hrs labour which i'm guessing is the major part of the cost!
Where is the best place to get parts?
If I can't get it sorted cheap then this really is the end for my Seicento which to be honest I really will not miss!
